Making Reality Capture a Digital-Twin Enabler at Scale

Implementing a digital twin for one asset is already a challenge. Scaling up to deploy digital twins across a global enterprise operating on a worldwide scale presents another level of complexity, requiring automated and efficient 3D data flows. As a leading multi-energy provider, TotalEnergies has pioneered a comprehensive approach to use reality capture as an enabler for the deployment of digital twins at scale. This involves establishing a powerful 3D data flow across various stages—including engineering and as-built—and using 3D models and point clouds. At the core of this ecosystem lie Autodesk products, seamlessly bridging the gap between engineering and geospatial domains to empower digital twins. This presentation will explore the 3D operating model, and highlight how this approach has not only saved time and money—and reduced carbon footprint by minimizing on-site visits—but also instilled greater confidence among operational teams in their digital tools.
